Fatigue as one of the major factors affecting three-body wear of resin composites is influenced by mechanical properties of the resin matrix. The aim of this in vitro study was to determine three-body wear (ACTA methodology), fracture strength, and Young's modulus of four veneering composites (Artglass old and new formula, Vita Zeta LC Composite, Targis) and one direct restorative composite (Z 100). Furthermore, three-body wear of the pure matrices of the materials was tested. The wear results were compared to Amalgam as reference material. It should be computed whether there exists a correlation between the wear results of resin composite and matrix alone. Wear of the veneering composites was significantly higher than of Z100 (13 microm) and Amalgam (14 microm; p < 0.01, Mann-Whitney U-test). Mean fracture strengths of indirect composites ranged from 127.5 MPa (Targis) to 71.6 MPa (Vita Zeta LC). The elastic moduli of the composites were between 2.9 and 12.8 GPa. The matrix wear rates did not differ significantly. Three-body wear results of complex resin composites are highly influenced by their filler content, filler particle size distribution, kind of filler particles, shape, and their silanization to the matrix. Due to this fact, three-body wear testing is an essential testing method and cannot be replaced by testing single material components.

To enhance the tribological properties of the coatings and to inhibit cracking, sandwich-structured composite coatings were fabricated, consisting of a Ni60CuMo/IN718 transition layer and a Ni60CuMo/Ni-coated Cu wear-resistant layer with four different Ni-coated Cu contents. The results indicate that the transition layer inhibits the crack formation in the coating, and the refined grain structure stabilizes its average hardness at approximately 485 HV. Increasing the Cu content in the wear-resistant layer exacerbates the segregation of the Cu-rich solid solution phases and refines the in situ-generated CrC, TiC, and NbC phases.

Objectives: This in vitro study aimed to investigate the toothbrushing wear on both enamel and dentin surfaces of reference and commercially available dentifrices.
Methods: Bovine enamel and dentin blocks were initially polished and embedded within a resin composite in square shapes (10×8×6 mm3). Employing toothbrushes equipped with nylon bristles, a toothbrushing machine was utilized, subjecting dentin specimens (n = 36) to 500 brush cycles and enamel samples to 5000 brush cycles (n = 36).

Article Synopsis
- This study examines how laser surface modifications can improve wear resistance, hardness, and friction in both dry and lubricated conditions.
- The research uses nanosecond pulsed laser treatment to create different surface structures on steel, aiming to increase wear resistance and decrease the coefficient of friction (COF).
- Findings suggest that laser texturing enhances hardness, modifies surface wettability, reduces COF, and promotes better lubrication retention, making it a beneficial technique for industries needing durable materials.
Spectroscopic Study of Strain, Oxidation, and Formation of Few-Layer Graphene at Steel Surfaces Tribologically Tested against MoS Films.

MoS not only has unique optoelectronic properties realizing photonic and semiconductor applications but also serves as a promising solid lubricant in tribological three-body contacts due to its advantageous friction and wear behavior. Its functionality is defined by elementary processes including strain, oxidation processes, and material mixing. However, these mechanisms were not elucidated for MoS having transferred from the MoS film synthesized at the main body to a steel counter body during tribological ball-on-disk tests.

This study aimed to investigate the wear and microhardness of luting agents and computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) resin blocks, and to compare the wear characteristics of resin-based luting agents used in bonded specimens of CAD-CAM resin blocks. After three-body wear test, the amount of wear and Vickers hardness were measured and Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated. The lowest amount of wear and the highest Vickers hardness values were obtained for Estecem II.
